A Recipe for Christmas

Two strangers 
One ‘spooky’ town 
Will they catch ghosts or feelings? 
 
Lex has one rule for dating: no tourists, newcomers, or anyone bound to leave her behind in her sleepy Vermont hometown. Until she hitches a ride with a handsome stranger who later shows up at her quiet bookshop job and now all the walls she’s built over the years begin to crumble. . . 
 
James is a filmmaker looking into the town’s ‘haunted’ landmarks – viral ghost stories Lex made up anonymously as a teenager. Lex can’t resist getting involved because if her secret gets out, it could ruin her chances of one day owning the bookshop. After all, James’s stay is only temporary and her career dreams come first. 
 
But as they spend more time together, Lex realises she’s falling for James. 
 
Worse, his mission isn’t as frivolous as it seems, and her tricks may cost him much more than a spooky documentary. 
 
Will her ghost-faking secret be the end of them?

'Full of Vermont ghostlore and friendly apparitions, Haunt Your Heart Out is as cozy and charming as the Stowe bookshop Lex loves. This warm and gentle romance is perfect for the holiday season.'

My name is Poppy St. James and I’ve just landed my dream job as the Director of Public Relations for the NHL’s hottest new team, the Jacksonville Rays. But if I want to stay beyond my one-year contract, I'll have to prove myself. Easy. PR is in my blood. What’s not so easy are the hockey players. They’re a real handful—especially party boy defenseman Lukas Novikov. 
 
I don't care how well Lucas plays hockey. Off the ice, he's a PR nightmare. Brash and bossy, he's always finding ways to drag his teammates into trouble—especially fellow defenseman Colton Morrow—and I have to find brilliant ways to drag them out of it. The players can all call me PR Barbie all they want, but I'm getting the job done. Because I am poised, powerful, and always professional . . . until the fateful night my phone rings. 
 
With one little phone call from home that leads to one drunken mistake, my carefully balanced life is knocked off-kilter. And now I'm staring down at a little blue plus sign and I have no strategy, no idea what’s next. All I know is that nothing will ever be the same.

One night with Cassidy was supposed to be enough to turn things around and get his head back in the game. Instead, Cassidy made herself an integral part of his routine, helping him to control his compulsive nature. She’s gotten under his skin, and he doesn’t want to let her go. 
 
Unfortunately for Aiden, his past has caught up with him. He learns this the hard way when the truth about Cassidy is revealed. She isn’t some random woman, but the girl he left behind when he was trying to escape his life. The girl who was always there for him. The one that made it possible for him to get away. 
 
Can they have a chance at love, or will the past and Cassidy’s lies be enough to tear them apart again?

Daphne Brink doesn&rsquo;t follow baseball, but watching &ldquo;America&rsquo;s Snoozefest&rdquo; certainly beats sitting at home in the days after she signs her divorce papers.

Horrified, Daphne reaches out to Chris on social media to apologize . . . but forgets to identify herself as his heckler in her message. 
 
Chris doesn&rsquo;t usually respond to random fans on social media, but when a DM from &ldquo;Duckie&rdquo; catches his eye, he impulsively messages back. Duckie is sweet, funny, and seems to understand him in a way no one else does. 
 
Daphne isn&rsquo;t sure how much longer she can keep lying to Chris, especially as she starts working with the team in real life and their feelings for each other deepen. When he finds out the truth, will it be three strikes, she&rsquo;s out?
